"I longed to connect with someone else who has been where I was, someone who REALLY knew. And I found you. Thank you for your support as I traveled this long and difficult road." ~ Antonia

THIS is what I know you know, deep down in your belly:

A bigger world is waiting for you; you can feel it.

You are not living up to your God-given potential.

Something (not sure what) is holding you back.

You are unconventional in many ways: you don't fit into conventional molds--your family, job, marriage, or your home.

You are a deeply intuitive and need to engage meaningfully with people.

You are tired of the same old shallow/superficial banter and behaviors with others.

You crave authenticity.

But this is how you feeeeeel:

You:

Wonder why you feel so unhappy, angry or exhausted.

Distance yourself from your partner, friends, possibly your children.

Act crazy in the midst of others' (unhealthy) behaviors.

Believe others' thoughts and opinions are more important than your own.

Deny your dreams.

Give away your power.

Take responsibility for everyone's behavior.

Disconnect from your body (and stay in your head!).

Feel unsure of yourself.

Hide in your life, taking up as little space as possible.

Ignore your powerful intuition.

Minimize reality.

Live and act according to the expectations of others.

If you recognize yourself, you are not alone. I know what it’s like to lose yourself in a recurring cycle of dysfunctional relationships. I know what it's like to feel betrayed by others--or worse, by yourself. If you have lost your direction or sense of self, I can help you find them again. If you feeldeep in your bones that you are meant to be part of a bigger world, fulfilling a larger mission, I understand.

It is easy to get side-tracked when you lose yourself to others and your life begins to feel frazzled at the edges. You lose your focus and your energy goes out the window. I can help you re-discover a better version of yourself, and guide you into taking steps to create the life you've always imagined.

When my life fell apart, it was natural for me to turn to others to be supported, but while friends and family were empathetic and tried to help, they lacked the experience of having gone through something so personal. I needed to find others who understood, but there was no one around to help me from the other side of healing--someone who understood what I had just experienced.

I am here for you, to be that bridge to the other side. I have been where you are now.

You have everything within you to thrive. No, it did not happen overnight. And yes, many days were difficult. But I talked it out, yelled it through, wrote out my pain, my anger, my shock...and bit by tiny bit, I began to feel okay again. Not whole. Not healed. But better. Then those little moments turned into hours, which turned into days. And while I trusted that my pain would eventually lighten, I just kept doing my life: I fed the kids, prepared meals, took them to school, went to work...

And then one day I was caught off-guard when I heard myself laughing.

Eventually, I was stunned to realize that the life I had grieved (and thought I'd never get over) was now in my distant past.

So you see, life got better, and yours can, too. It may not be what you expected, nor what you dreamed of, but right now, it's what you have. And whatever you are going through, it's all going to be okay. Eventually, you will be able to have a life you didn't even know you wanted. And more importantly, a life you didn't even know you deserved.

This is your opportunity for a second chance, to start again, to become someone new--the you who has been in hiding.

Let me help you reclaim whomever you are meant to be. You may just save your own life.
